My take on this topic: I don't think its worth spending time on this. Use VNC 
or something alike if you *really* want it, but I can't don't see any reason 
for ever running an IDE from a remote machine. Just share the data, e.g. 
source contents, over VCS and be done with it. Then you can use the local 
tools at full performance without any of the issues of either VNC or remote X 
or ...
